Background

Physical Appearance

Smokey's design is based on a 1947 Hudson pickup truck. He is painted orange, with areas of rust on his fenders and flatbed, which seems to have a patch of brown. He has blue eyes and yellow rims, and also carries the Smokey's Automotive Service logo on his doors.

Smokey was Doc's trainer when he was learning to race.
While Lightning McQueen is recovering from his crash, he remembers this and wonders if Smokey can help him train to beat Jackson Storm. He comes across Smokey, Louise Nash, River Scott, and Junior Moon. At one point, Smokey informs McQueen that while he may not become as fast as Jackson Storm, he can be smarter than him.
